FINDINGS, RESOLUTION AND ORDER OF INCLUSION
of
THE BOARD OF DIREC'TORS
of
ELECTRICAL DISTRICT NUMBER EIGHT
rtflARICOPA and YUMA COUNTIES
FOR UNIT XV LANDS
WHEREAS the following FINDINGS have been duly made by the Board of
Directors (the "Board") of Electrical District Number Eight of Maricopa and Yuma
Counties (the "District"):
A. A Petition has been timely and properly filed with the District in sufficient form
and substance pursuant to A.R.S. 48-1721 by the owners of certain lands, the legal
description of which lands and the respective owners of the various parcels thereof are
all set forth on the attached Exhibit A hereto, incorporated herein by this reference. The
Petition requests inclusion of said lands in the District. The Petition has been accepted
by the District, and copies thereof are on file with the District. (Said lands are
collectively referred to herein as the "Unit XV Lands"; and the owners of parcels of said
lands are collectively referred to herein as the "Unit XV Landowners.")
B. Upon proper and timely notice duly published and posted, a public hearing
was held by the Board on September 25, 2012, to receive objections, if any, to the
Petition, all in accordance with A.R.S. §§ 48-1704 and 48-1721, at which hearing no
objections were made to the Petition. Affidavits of posting and publication of the notice
of hearing are on file with the District. No objections to the Petition have been
registered with the Board in writing or otherwise.
C. The parcels of Unit XV Lands covered by the Petition are, respectively, in a
reasonably compact body and regular form, and not so far removed as to materially
increase the cost of service in the District, inasmuch as District service is rendered by
means of electrical or gas transmission and distribution systems and facilities owned,
maintained and operated by third party utilities and not by the District, and the

contractually established rates currently charged the District for District customers' use
of such systems and facilities are nct determined on the basis of any distances between
the Unit XV Lands and the other lands in the District, It is noted however, that future
charges may depend upon the Unit XV Landcfr distance from major e!ectrical facilities,
and the Unit XV Lands will be subject thereto.
D. The Unit XV Lands may be equitably included in the District if done so
expressly upon equitable terms and conditions applicable specifically to the Unit XV
Lands, which terms and conditions are related to the peculiar distinguishing facts and
characteristics of the Unit XV Lands vis a vis other lands in the District; e.g., the Unit XV
Lands have not paid taxes or assessments since the formation of the District, and the
resource loads'of such lands were not included in the historical electric load base upon
which was determined the District's proportionate allocation of Boulder Canyon Project
federal preference hydropower, with its various appurtenant and related rights and
contracts from and with the Arizona Power Authority and the Western Area Power
Administration, inter alia, (collectively, the "Preference Power Rights.") Such equitable
terms and conditions of admission are appropriate and necessary in order to insure that
inclusion of the Unit XV Lands shall not jeopardize or impair the rights and privileges of
the other lands and landowners previously in the District.
NOW, THEREFOR, be it RESOLVED, and it is hereby ORDEROD, that the
Unit XV Lands, as particularly described on the attached Exhibit A, are collectively, and
each parcel thereof is individually, hereby included in the District, but only expressly
upon and subject to such equitable terms and conditions as the Board determines may
be necessary and appropriate to insure that such inclusion of, and District service to,
